Finally, Jasleen Matharu has put all speculations about her relationship status to rest. The actress was linked with her guru, bhajan samrat Anup Jalota, during and after their participation in Bigg Boss 12, more than a year ago. However, Jasleen has now revealed that she is in a relationship, albeit a virtual one, with a Bhopal-based aesthetic surgeon. Interestingly, this love story has an Anup Jalota angle, too. It was he who introduced the two to each other around a week-and-a-half ago, on a video call.

Jasleen tells us, “Anup ji had told me about this doctor, who separated from his wife last year. But, the matter couldn’t progress owing to the Coronavirus lockdown. However, rather than delaying it further, he introduced us virtually. We talk a lot and get along well.”

Has he spoken to her about her alleged link-up with Anup Jalota? She says, “He has not mentioned it even once. Anyway, we don’t talk about each other’s past. He is yet to get a divorce and so, we are taking one day at a time. I just want to say that it’s my life and I am happy that Anup ji is involved in it.”

On his part, Anup says, “Theirs is a cultured family and I have known them for five-six years. I am hopeful that things will work out between Jasleen and the guy, eventually.” He adds, “I had promised that I would do her kanyadaan and I hope to do it whenever she chooses to marry.”
